Random Penguin Once More

Here is the last post of Random Penguin's exploits during his stay in Groningen

Random Penguin was happy to see it started to freeze. It suddenly felt like winter.

Random Penguin visited the market in Groningen.

Here Random Penguin is in front of the bookstore where he left some bookmarks of Between so they could be given to customers.

The last night of his stay everyone stayed up late to chat and tell stories.

We loved having Random Penguin over for a visit and we hope he enjoyed his stay.

Random Penguin Gets Around

The Random Penguin has been busy these last few days.

He helped cooking dinner and learned about 'Snijbonen'.

He went to the movies.

That was actually on my invitation to celebrate my blogoversary. We saw The Hobbit.

Random Penguin saw yet another one of the churches in Groningen: The New Church.

He had a grilled cheese sandwich at lunch today.

And he read the company magazine while we were at work.

Tomorrow we might do even more fun stuff if we find the time.

Further Exploits of the Random Penguin

Random Penguin has been busy the last few days.

We played the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.

Random Penguin saw the Martini Tower.
(The most beautiful tower in all of the Netherlands in my humble opinion.)

He saw the canals.
Random Penguin hoped there would be ice so he could walk on the canals, but that was not to be.

He also visited 'Het Goudkantoor' (the Gold Office).
He didn't get any gold though.

He had fun during our weekly games night.

And he saw the 'Der Aa' Church.
If it looks like the church is ready to fall over you can blame my owner's creative photographer skills.)

What Our Guest Has Been Up To

So what has the Random Penguin been doing since he arrived?

Random Penguin contemplating the Dutch weather. He thinks he might need an umbrella.

Random Penguin went with us to work. He was a bit bored.

Random Penguin settled in for the night.

Random Penguin all set to make a trip into town.

I'll keep you all updated of Random Penguin's further exploits in Groningen.

The Arrival of the Random Penguin

Today we received a special visitor!
We were notified in advance so I took care that a welcome committee was assembled.

The Random Penguin arrived for a visit to Groningen while he's on his World Tour!

The Random Penguin is Kerry Schafer's trusted sidekick and he's famous for his Random pictures of him at unexpected places.

I made sure to have the penguins who live here present when Random Penguin arrived so he would feel right at home.

Random Penguin also brought these beautiful bookmarks of Kerry's book Between with him, so we can distribute them here and tempt people into buying Between.

For now Random Penguin settled down in a nice spot to rest from his long journey to Groningen, but he'll be touring Groningen and pose for some pictures the next few days.
